http:www.vawatchdog.org/va%20data%20theft%20news.htm
Larry Scott a brother I trust has a release on this info
I recieved this via email today Never,ever fall for something like this The VA will not call you on this matter and they will not email you. If you don't know who it is you must assume its a scam Email Below
All, The Health Revenue Center has advised of the following
We have recieved credible information regarding a telephone scam whereby veterans are contacted and urged to call a 1-800 number
The pretext for this action is regarding the recent data loss by the VA and publicity generated from that event.
The veteran is compelled to believe this is a resource to assist them.
Once the veteran calls the 1-800 number,they are directed to call a 1-900 number where they incur a $9.99 per minute charge
So far this scam has only been identified in VISN 16" Adrien F. Creecy-Starks (LVA2004) Regional Director of Public Affairs Washington Region Department of Veterans Affairs 202-530-9361 (Office) 202-530-9365 (Fax)
So far B Brothers and Sisters only in these areas NC,VA,DC,MD,WV,DE,PA
This is just the start of this kind of crap Now what I want to know how and where did they get our phone numbers Data was not touch according to the VA more bull again I think Heads up protect yourself's and Families
